I think some people claim to be atheists as an excuse to become perpetually offended at, well, everything. It seems like they use being an atheist as an excuse; like it's their "get out of jail free card" to act as arrogantly stupid as they'd like. As an acquaintance at the monastery just stated in a recent comment, "Spewing vitriol is not productive, or Christian." Not being Christian must give them ample self-approval to spew away? Those deists, who can't use atheism as their excuse, instead find a way to misinterpret scripture to excuse their poor societal behavior. Worse are all these folks acting like the rest of us really buy into their drivel and see them for something more important than just another group of spoiled, complaining, offended little brats. Well, more and more of us seem to be acquiescing to their whining. The problem is the lawyers, politicians, and judges forcing us to buy into it through making us listen to their constant mindless crap until we've become numb. Like a baby screaming throughout the night, we finally have to shove a pacifier in their mouth to shut them up. They have literally beaten those of us with any sense into submission. Our only grasp left on reality is the realization they seem satisfied sucking at the pacifier without much complaint that it isn't a real nipple. It gives the rest of us much satisfaction knowing they seem to suck at anything.
